RE: Reasons why Webservice is inaccessible from WAN?

[Liu, Tao]

Did you check your "Connections/LAN settings/Proxy server" in your browser?

I believe you set your service endpoint in your client code.

Jogesh,

I am having a hard time believing its a firewall issue if port 80 is open.
Unless the firewall blocks certain protocols?

Check the firewall setting for allowing your application to commumnicate .

Just as a trouble shooting precaution, I would try using the IP address just to eliminate DNS as a variable.  Next I would look at what port the webservice is running on.  Development often happens using 8080 but a lot of production services go on 80 and sometimes people forget to open and close the right ports.  If the ports are correct, then I would go to your next statement where you say "...the request has never been made...".  If you are sure the request is leaving the client intact but it never reaches the server then that might indicate a firewall problem.

James,

Thanks for your reply.  The url is not internal, it resolves to a WAN IP.  If I were to replace
the IP in the endpoint address I do not think that would make a difference.  Should I try to
use the IP in the endpoint address even though the server IP is not internal?

As for error messages, the request has never been made so there is not too much.  I turned
on debugging in the axis.log and in http.log (which is always empty!) and this is what I get:

In addition to proxy servers, also look at the URL you are using to access your webservice.  I've received WSDL from other houses that referenced their internal URLs ( e.g. http://companylan/webservice instead of http://companylan.company.com/webservice).  Sometimes it is better to use IP addresses in place of URLs but most of the same visibility issues will still apply.

 

 Do you have any error messages you can post?

Subject: Reasons why Webservice is inaccessible from WAN?

 

Hello,

I was wondering if anybody has ever encountered a scenario where
your deployed webservice works fine within a LAN but fails when accessing
from a WAN.  I have a deployed webservice where accessing it from a WAN
causes the client to hang when doing a Call.invoke.  Has anyone encountered
this problem or do you think it is more a problem with the client system?

Packet capturing was done on the WAN client and discovered that no soap request
is made to the webservice.  The axis debug ends with this before hanging indefinately:

968  [main] DEBUG org.apache.axis.client.Call  - operation.getNumParams()=8
968  [main] DEBUG org.apache.axis.client.Call   - getParamList number of params: 8
975  [main] DEBUG org.apache.axis.client.Call  - Enter: Call::invoke(RPCElement)
1006 [main] DEBUG org.apache.axis.i18n.ProjectResourceBundle  - org.apache.axis.i18n.resource::handleGetObject (attachEnabled)
1006 [main] DEBUG org.apache.axis.Message  - Attachment support is enabled?  true

But it is clear that a SOAP request is never made to the webservice.

Any ideas?

Thanks!,

Anthony Bargnesi
